Jasmine Miles-long
Jasmine miles- long is a taxidermy artist that studied a BA in sculpture at the university of Brighton. Jazmine creates videos, campaigns and online content for museums. Jazmine creates taxidermy for both the gallery and museum context, and so her work sits between the realms of art and science. Jazmine’s love of natural history has led her to make work that respects the animal and focuses on the beauty of living things, giving the viewer the chance to explore nature up close. Offering an understanding of the animal and the taxidermy process itself promoting the scientific and cultural benefits of this intricate and evolving craft. Jazmine Calls herself an ‘ethical’ taxidermist to describe the way she produces work only using animals that have died from natural causes.
In the Booth museum Jasmine has one of her own pieces, a cheetah taken from an old specimen that was preserved and frozen. Its one of the newer pieces in the Booth Museum.
